So, I'm having a lot of trouble with faces recently, and it really annoys me, as it tends to ruin my whole micro. So, I was just wandering if anyone had any tips or tutorials on how they make faces?

I like to first off shape the jaw of the micro face (using a blank face to start with). I then usually scale down a reference picture and look at how far certain features lie from eachother (e.g. The lower lip/chin thing from the bottom of the chin, the eyes from the side of the mouth etc.) Obviously, you do this somewhat crudely, then you correct it by anti-aliasing and blending.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I already do, apart from scaling down the face (which I used to do, but found it was a pointless step, as long as you keep everything in proportion). Thanks anyway, though.

I pretty much do the same. I think its better to have a total blank face on the temp so it doesnt look like the face has just been slightly editted from a standard temp face, if that makes sense. Editting the jawline, eyes, and expression will help to get good resemblance, but thats something you just learn over time, its hard to make a tutorial or teach someone to get a good likeness on their micros

I dont reduce pictures, but I do always start with a blank head and just copy a picture as much as possible into the micro style.

Hmmm, I'll give shrinking them another go. I'll probably make as many faces as I possibly can, without making a full micro for a while. I noticed my faces seemed better when I made them before the rest of the micro.

Well, I've been focusing on heads since posting this, here are two I've made. I think the likeness is alright, but I'm gonna ask you guys to guess who they are. That way, I can tell whether or not it does actually have likeness. They're both musicians, but they aren't related or anything. Diablo, you're not allowed to say anything about the first one ¬¬

Is the one on the right Jack Black? I'm also having a lot of trouble with faces, which is why I tend to make people with masks or face paint, but I tried the scaling down technique. Can you tell who it is?

I won't say who it is until other people have guessed, that way, I know if it is easily visible, or not.
And unfortunately, no, I can't tell who yours is.

Yeah, Brodus Clay came to mind when I saw Famous'. Don't really know a lot of musicians so can't figure out Masson's.
